Summary:

At present, only system fonts can be chosen for a UILabel in Interface Builder. When building a very custom user interface that uses additional fonts included in the app bundle, this makes it harder to position the label accurately, as it is impossible to preview what its text will look like with the final font.

Steps to Reproduce:

Edit a xib file in Interface Builder.
Add a UILabel to the view.
Open the Attributes inspector.
Click on the "T" icon under "Font".
Select "Custom" for the "Font" option.

Expected Results:

The popup dialog should allow the user to input the name of the custom font.

Actual Results:

There is no such option. Only fonts included with the system are displayed.
